That's a lot of solid mods for a decent price. Truly a good example for someone wanting to get a car to take right to the track. Is it really that bad that you can't stand it?

Well, I just don't really want to spend a whole lot of money getting it to where I would like it. I discovered some things with the car after I had bought it that needed fixing, which the guy I bought it from didn't mention. When I test drove it, the transmission didn't pop out of gear. The guy I bought it from just said reverse was "tricky" that you had to play with the clutch a bit. It also needs to be retuned. It ran perfectly fine driving it back from CA, but when I started it the next day it took a good amount of time just to find it's idle at 850 rpms. The car wanted to die if you didn't hold it steady at around 800 rpms for 30 seconds or so. Once the car is warmed up after 5 minutes it just purrs. It's only an issue at cold start. Plus not having AC right now kinda sucks here. It really is just setup for someone to take it to the track and that's about it. I thought otherwise, oh well.

Zabo: It does suck gas pretty bad. Your TA is really nice, just looking for something a little closer to home.

No worries man. Actually fixing the window track and the motors aren't hard. Did mine going in blind inside of 3 hours. Just get a putty knife (or a nylon scraper) for removing the door panel. Patience is key but it only cost me a few drinks on a hot day and 60 bucks on a motor.

I understand ya though with the distance thing, I didn't see you were in AZ till after I posted LOL! Someone will buy our cars, just give it time.

Yea I took the passenger door panel off and wired up the autotrix window kit, so the window motor is getting more juice. I'm just not sure about replacing the motor since it is pop riveted to the door. Plus it's almost 110 out and I have no garage. I actually just bought a '99 Mystic Teal Metallic TA today off of craigslist. 1 owner, immaculate, 93k miles for $5500! Hopefully it won't take long to sell our cars. Glood luck on selling yours, it is pretty sweet.

Carbide bit and drill the head off. At least yours is popriveted so it's probably got a dimple to rest the bit into. Mine had the factory bucked rivets and I'll be damned if I couldn't get that drill to center!

Put a brand new IAC and MAF sensor in today. The SLP unit went bad and now it runs much better with a stock one. I Found a house to move into and need this baby gone, so someone make me a reasonable offer!

I came real close to buying that thing several times......but too many mods for CA......
$5K is always the magic number!

Yea, it's nice that I don't have to worry about selling it anymore. Perfect timing too since I'm moving into a house in a month! Aaaaaand I discovered one of my SS 10 spokes is cracked and I need new wheels.
